Or. Admin. Code § 808-009-0070 - Suspending Processing

A copy of this memorandum shall be served on the parties.

(2) If a claim is referred to the agency under section (1) of this rule, the agency may:

(a) Suspend processing the claim; or

(b) Refer the claim back to the administrative law judge with instructions to resume the hearing.
